The Maelstromers... a FASTPASS!

[lillygator]

Mark has one!! Psst, Lilygator...they have UF ones, too!

thanks guys - actually Santa brought everyone one in their stocking this year....at least for us good kids!

Well, if we are all confessing ages here, I'm 34. I usually have to think about what year is this and then subtract 1971 from it to figure out how old I am. Why? Cause I can never seem to remember! It just seems that once I got past 25, the differences in ages just didn't matter anymore. You know the big milestones, 16, 18, 21... Now what - 40??? Ick! And GADisneyGirl, I used to be a size 2 - way back when I got married, but I've long since lost that. I'd be happy to get back down to a 6/8 from my 10/12 right now, but I HATE excersizing. What's a girl to do?

The map is pretty cool. I'm a map kinda girl.

Vettechick, you didn't happen to go to GA Southern, did you? That's where my DH went. I love the campus and wouldn't mind if my dd went there one day.

I'm thinking about getting some Crocs, well.... fake Crocs. I've heard the Payless ones were the best fakes. Anyone agree or disagree? I just wish they had solid colors and not just the swirled ones.

I would love to do another December trip to WDW, but it probably won't happen this year. DH covers local sports and they decided to push football season back a few more weeks so the players are practicing in the middle of summer. That just means that championship weekend is no longer the first weekend in December, but it now goes until a week before Christmas. And I'm not doing WDW right at Christmas - too many people!

is a fastpas!?!! Pongoperdie!

Uh, Mel and MOMofMNM- Uh a size 4, OMG-pleeeeze someone get me a personal trainer. I was only 6 and that went away in my 30s now I am in the double digits. Ya'll must have those itsy bitsy little narrow hips that some of us were just not blessed wit.

I AmSoNotComingToPostaAgainAndLeaveMyClientsWaitingToday.

Maelstrom

Yeah if we complain to the mods that we find the size 4 (and size 2, omg) posts intimidating, we can get them pulled? That it makes us uncomfortable posting our size.

So while we are fessing up our ages I am 37, 38 in October. You know I was toying with the idea of a Dec trip, but I don't think we will be able to swing it this year.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right now I feel like the kid that threw the paper wad at the teacher while she was writing on the board, and didn't get caught. Not that I would ever do anything like that.

 

[JulieEck]

BTW Maelstromers, I did work on those Maelstrom T-shirt designs last night while Marky Mark had insomnia and was up waaaay too late on the CB, again. Perhaps I will go try to post them in the Art Section or wherever. I could also email or PM them.

Here's a brief description (front): picture a set of viking hat horns as the backdrop, superimposed is Maelstrom in DIS green with black outline. The Maelstrom is on a curve, just like in the real sign with a similar font.

On the back in reverse black font with DIS green outline are the words: Is A
atop a DIS green FASTPASS logo with Donald, followed by a large ?! at the end.

All mirror imaged and ready to go for either real screen printing or do-it yourself iron-on transfer film from WallyWorld (aka Walmart).

Now the colors and viking horns and all are optional. It's really just a matter of preference.

I forgot to say that that sounds really cool! My dh would probably die rather than wear one, but I would wear it!

First off, Bro. Mark, Lillygator and Vettechick: y'all are fans of loser schools. Just as Mark's clearly smarter, better half said about 12 pages ago, Alabama is the undisputed king of football. 12 national championships, baby! Florida and FSU is where you go when you can't go to Bama.

My daddy went to 'Bama, it's still in the SEC so it's all good.


and by the way - they don't call UF the "ivy league of the South" for nothing. And we all know all you need to get in to FSU is a heartbeat!

 

[Miss Jasmine]

GO DAWGS!!!!!

woof woof woof

Florida, Florida State...what's the difference

No I AM KIDDING!!!

Just passing through to say hello! Looks like you all are having a grand time!

 

[MommyPoppins]

Mai Tai say that I am by far the youngest. I'll be having my big quarter of a century in May.

Mai tai also say that I think I have everyone beat with kids though? I had 4 kids before I was 24, and mai tai also say that they were all in wedlock and I'm not a hooker.

Okay, so who has more than 4?

My word, MP, you are a SAINT! Or INSANE. I'm not sure which. 4 kids before age 24... my goodness, girl, I didn't have ONE til I was 28... and he is a great, great kid and I love him dearly...and I love being a mommy dearly... but I think I'm done with my childbearing!

I'm too old, anyway. I'll be 33 in August. According to my MIL, I was over the hill before I had Wesley.

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Why are people barking on this thread?


Oh nevermind... it's Pongo.

 

[PrincessAurora]

1. Did Star Wars and Elvis Presley's death occur BEFORE you were born?

WAY after

2. Did you ever have a pet rock? Mine was named "Rocky". I was very creative as a child.

I did but it didn't have a name.

3. Remember platform shoes?

O yes and I BEGGED for them. My Mom told me I would fall off them and kill myself. As evidenced by the string of of girls in the 70's that died horrible shoe falling deaths.

4. Ever played "How many kids can we cram into a Telephone Booth?"

No but I had a toga party, played beer hunter and a was forced to go cow tippin one night in college.

PrincessAurora ~ I can hardly WAIT to watch you on TV. THAT is so cool. And, please, cram that damn squirrel into a box and Fedex it to me. Pronto. A few air holes would be good too. Although... bringing a smelly decomposing mass to The General might work too. Hummmmm...

The Squirell is on the way! LOOK OUT GENERAL! The cat will be liberated!

Maelstrom!!!!

..is a fastpass!

 

[PrincessAurora]

I mean BEFORE or do I mean after.... OK I was born and then many years later came Star Wars.

I'm as old as dirt. Don't mind me. I just got back from Trader Joes with some cider so I'm getting drunk. HEY! It's beer o'clock, it's rainy and I deserve it!

 

[pongoperdigirl]

Julie, I have plain black ones from Payless and I love them. I don't own a real pair yet so I can't compare them, but they are nice.

Mel, I never thought about the barking thing and me having the name pongo.

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

ZZUB! Hey!

That edit of yours wasn't very nice. Was it? Not that I read it... or anything. Maybe someone just told me about it.

But... perhaps you're just a little wee itty bitty in a snitty. 'Cause I'm a blackbelt. And all that. Plus I live in Canada. War of 1812. And all that.

Or else perhaps you're bored and you need a challenge.

Soooooooo...

Don't you people know anything about hockey?????

Wow you really are MommyPoppins. You have me beat. I have three kids. But I did have one before 20 and all 3 by 30. My baby is 19 and he is off in college at the University of Rochester. People look at me strange when I say that. And a lot of people ask me if I am my kids older sister.

 

[LiteBrite]

I mean BEFORE or do I mean after.... OK I was born and then many years later came Star Wars.

Oh, thank goodness! I was beginning to think I was the only one who was slightly, er... more mature (?) than the other "more mature" people on this thread who all appear to be roughly 10 years younger than me.

Let me put it this way. I was only one year shy of being able to drive myself to the Star Wars premier.

And, I had some seriously outtasight brown leather laceups with 4 inch platforms made of solid wood!

 

[GADISNEYGIRL]

Don't you people know anything about hockey?????

Why do you think football is so big in the south? Because even our PUDDLES don't freeze in winter. Ice is not really our thing. Probably because of global warming. Football is much more suited to our climate!

Mel, you need to come down here and watch a little UF/FSU action with Marky Mark and Lillygator. You haven't lived til you've watched a rival football game with...well...rival fans. I'm glad I'm not friends with any Auburn folks!

And ZZUB, you do know that Alabama and FSU are going to start playing?? We've never had to deal with the football rivalry aspect in our house. This could get messy!

(SNIP)
And I post it in the general board in stead of a private message because I think that often all of us need to hear some of this. And maybe, just maybe I won't be censored.

Blessings everyone!
Mark

Mark - you are one great guy! Thanks for the words. They are something that we all can take away with us and use for the better in our lives.

What TIME is it there?

Thanks for the squirrel. Geez. I've NEVER said that sentence before.

Thanks for the squirrel. Nice.

I can't believe you never named your pet rock... wasn't that a rule. Of the '70s?

Ok... I've done the toga party. And partied a little too much and got my toga caught in a door. And whoopsi-doo! Embarrassing. Cow tippin' been there. Witnessed that.

But... ever played Butter Shot?

 

[HaleyB]

Hey anyone else listen to Bob Schneider?

http://www.bobschneidermusic.com/

He is a pretty cool hip guy for an oldtimer like me to listen to. He has a cool website that streams his music. Take a listen.

 

[HaleyB]

What TIME is it there?

Beer thirty, or sometime before noon, whose counting.

I can't believe you never named your pet rock... wasn't that a rule. Of the '70s?

I had a pet rock family and I think my first one was named blue. Yes I do think it is a rule.

Ok... I've done the toga party. And partied a little too much and got my toga caught in a door. And whoopsi-doo! Embarrassing. Cow tippin' been there. Witnessed that.

Butter shot? Is that like a Jello Shot? No, never played that. Never tipped a cow either, but did know some people who stole a life sized plastic cow from in front of a drive thru dairy and put it ontop of the highschool building.

ETA: Of course I know what Hockey is. Born outside of Buffalo NY. Just a little south of Niagra Falls. My first crush might have been a memeber of the french connection. Latter it was Wayne, although his little brother was closer to my age. They played in lots of games against my older brother.
